Car and Driver stated this week that a preliminary version of the Nissan GT-R-V Spec (Victory Specification) will be revealed during the Paris Motor Show later this year. They went on to say that it might also be ready to be sold by the end of the year.

The specs for the new car have not yet been released â€“ but it is said to be faster, stronger, and a better version of the old â€“ but fast Nissan GT-R. Yet, it will be lower and more powerful than the average GT-R.

Apparently Nissan has also admitted that the $70,000 GT-R is currently a loss-leader. As the company rolls out more cars on the same platform, like an Infiniti version in a year or so, the GT-R’s balance sheet will begin to show profit. Speaking of that Infiniti version, it will be intriguing to see how they combine Nissan gadgetry with Infiniti luxury. And although the V-Spec could be shown in just a few months and on sale by December, it isn’t expected to go on sale in the U.S. until 2010.
